It's quite heavy, so I think you are right that it would need a pretty serious crinoline to puff it out! <br />I think both of your fabrics would be lovely for the other dress - myself, I'd go for the pink combo, because it would be totally original and really stand out! Party-worthy, for sure! The other one would be a beautiful dress too, but maybe more every-day/nice date? Go big or go home! :)Gillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306054198401843077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8938936179596176735.post-50041708462254280382012-05-04T12:59:56.841-04:002012-05-04T12:59:56.841-04:00Thanks for the advice, Symon!

I've never made a circle skirt/dress either (the full skirt thing kind of scares me TBH lol) and frankly, I don't think I could pull it off... but i really like the idea of twirling and I think it looks so pretty on others :).<br /><br />I love your pinky peach sateen and that pretty black and pink silk - but that's just me ^__^ I think the dotted rayon will be perfect for your vintage dress - can't wait to see it! Definitely make the belt red, it has to be red.... and red shoes!! :DSymonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17965640501644567685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8938936179596176735.post-58726877482449540092012-05-04T10:09:30.974-04:002012-05-04T10:09:30.974-04:00I made a circle skirted dress and it's huge! L...I made a circle skirted dress and it's huge! Like whoa! Idk if I would make another. I would probably cut it back to a half circle or something of the like. But if you don't have a full circle one yet you should totally go for it! I think that swirly print fabric would be great for the NL pattern and the other polka dot or circle dot print would be great for the vintage McCalls. I love that McCalls, it's going to be great!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11991949123948585603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8938936179596176735.post-60063544717542153982012-05-04T09:41:18.679-04:002012-05-04T09:41:18.679-04:00Sounds lovely!!
